Roberto Serralles |
Roberto Serralles has released one of the
most expensive and exclusive rums in the world.
They have released Don Q Reserva de la Familia Serralles 20 year old
drawn from their most special barrels.
Available in the United States for around $1899.99 for a 750 ml.
In 1994, the Serralles family tasked
themselves with aging a special rum in charred American white oak barrels. From
this original lot of 36 barrels, the best samples were chosen for the creation
of a truly sublime blend. This singular blend was combined and returned to the
charred barrels for a few months so a balance between aroma and taste could be
achieved. This special lot was named Reserva de la Familia Serralles, producing
a rum robust in color and aroma, with a very silky and refined taste in the palate.
The contact with the wood gives it a natural dark amber color which is both
intense and brilliant. Its aroma has notes of vanilla oak, sweet air, touch of
burnt wood and even a slight taste of molasses, which help build the character
of this exceptional rum. It is deliciously smooth in the mouth while the sweet
notes of rum are distributed evenly throughout the palate. Its aroma awakens
the senses and at first sip sends a wave of warmth to the heart, literally in
the center of the chest, where the spirit of a great rum is meant to be felt.
Flavors linger for a while forever tied to the memory of a unique
experience.
A masterpiece of the finest aged rums
drawn from hand selected 20 year old single barrels from a special place in the
oldest rum warehouses. Honey and exquisite nose that lingers with the woody
essence of the rackhouse in which it has slept for so long. Sweet, bright honey
notes with the elegance and complexity of an ancient cognac that gives way to
warm tannins and a lingering mahogany and fig finish with notes of
apricot.
